Abstract:In very shallow areas, the frequency by which coastal structures (like dikes and seawalls) are directly broken by large wave forces is low because large waves are broken in deeper areas. The main cause for such destruction is ground scour in front of the structures and outflow of backfilling materials by middle-scale waves; therefore, the scour and the outflow should be considered when designing a coastal structure in a very shallow area. In this paper, a numerical model consisting of CADMAS-SURF, which can ca… Show more
“…For coastal structures such as dikes and seawalls, the stability of the structures during hazard events is of importance in flood risk assessment and management. Silarom and Yamamoto [7] investigated the scour of coastal structures and outflow of backfilling materials of the structure in Thailand and Japan using numerical modelling with CADMAS-SURF by solving the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equations of motion, and the volume of fluid technique for free surface and hydraulic model experiments, and found good agreement between the results of numerical modelling and hydraulic model experiments.…”
